Seminar #1 (June 1999)
Ten faculty (five biologists, two chemists, a computer scientist, a psychologist and the Director of the Science Learning Center) met to discuss the role of students as laboratory teaching assistants and.or peer mentors in classes taught in inquiry and workshop formats. The workshop sought to develop "job descriptions" for teaching assistants and mentors that detailed what types of guidance students who hold those positions should provide to students and, as importantly, what they should not provide.
